Chapter 190: Eavesdropping
Chapter 190: Eavesdropping
Lindsey's memories continued to unfold.
A young boy, newly awakened, frantically fled through the snow, devising a plan to counterattack the beast chasing him.
These experiences were witnessed by the fairy maiden.
With an alluring smile, she even praised Lindsey without hesitation:
"Although you've just awakened..."
"But for a child to kill a beast, you've always been a bit unusual, haven't you?"
Lindsey, however, paid no heed to her words.
He was deep in thought about his current state and ways to escape the illusion.
Before he was completely under control, he was certain he had seen the status of 【Daze-Induced Coma-Hallucination】, and the resistance boost from the 【Mountain Crest Emblem】 might be effective against it.
But for the previous battle, Lindsey had equipped the most offensive 【Flame Forge Emblem】.
Now, trapped in this predicament, he couldn't switch emblems.
"I can only wait for the right moment..."
Meanwhile, the memories continued to play out.
The fairy maiden didn't seem bothered by Lindsey's lack of response. She fast-forwarded through some unnecessary scenes, and when the border town came into view, she couldn't help but exclaim:
"So, this is the human town?"
"In recent years, there have been some foolish souls who dare to cross this world."
The fairy maiden's gaze fell on Lindsey, her voice laced with temptation:
"But you're the first one to find your way to me."
"Brave little one~"
"..."
Lindsey remained silent, and the memories continued to flow backward.
Finally, during a question-and-answer session, the fairy maiden's actions suddenly froze, and the flow of memories halted as well.
This was triggered by a single sentence from Lindsey.
The smile on her exquisite face turned dangerously menacing:
"Human, you wish to kill my love!"
"..."
Does this guy like the Dragon Beast? Lindsey instantly understood her thoughts and realized this was a rare opportunity. In less than a thousandth of a second, he made a decision and put on a stubborn front:
"As long as a living being exists, it must have weaknesses."
"And weaknesses mean it can be killed!"
"..."
"Hahahahaha!"
After a brief pause, the fairy maiden burst into uncontrollable laughter.
She laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face, her body shaking in mid-air:
"Are you trying to entertain me with your amusing jokes?"
"A frail and short-lived being like you wants to kill a majestic and powerful Dragon Beast?"
"If you want to please me with such methods, go ahead and try. Maybe if I'm happy enough, I'll let you go."
But Lindsey saw through her wild facade and replied coldly:
"You didn't deny it. The Dragon Beast does have weaknesses."
The fairy maiden's laughter abruptly stopped.
She floated in front of Lindsey's consciousness, their gazes locked, revealing a murderous intent:
"So what if it has weaknesses?"
"Do you have the ability to know? You, who is about to die at my hands, dare to dream of reaching the Black Mountain?"
The fairy maiden asserted:
"Weak humans should have the awareness of the weak. Don't think about what you shouldn't and don't try to reach for the unreachable!"
"For you, escaping this world is but a fanciful dream."
"And here you are, caught by me so easily, spouting nonsense..."
"Ice." Lindsey interrupted the fairy maiden, uttering a single word. "Or rather, temperature. The Dragon Beast is highly sensitive to temperature changes, and this is also its weakness!"
"..."
The fairy maiden's mockery vanished in an instant.
She stood frozen in place, her eyes fixed on Lindsey with an intense gaze.
"Where did you learn that from?"
He took the bait!
Lindsey's heart leaped with joy as he confirmed his previous guess about the Dragon Beast's weakness.
Lin Sai feigned a mocking expression, taunting the fairy maiden:
"You're reading my memories, so keep going!"
The fairy maiden was furious:
"Do you think I wouldn't do this?"
The memories began to rapidly rewind.
Lin Sai needed to stall for time.
The fairy maiden also wanted to know how the human before her had learned the dragon beast's weakness.
Time passed in an unseen game of chess.
In the memories, Lin Sai was still experiencing everything. The fairy maiden wasn't too concerned about the abilities Lin Sai initially displayed because, at the beginning of the crossing, the true power of the [Game Player] had only just begun to emerge.
But after a full three years of growth, when the time reached the node of Finn's death...
Lin Sai couldn't help but start to feel anxious.
This time node was his period of rapid growth. Not only could information leaks be dangerous, but the [Radiant Bullet] he had previously demonstrated must not be discovered by the enemy before him!
Lin Sai immediately provoked the fairy maiden:
"You're so serious about reading my memories to gather intelligence for that dragon beast, aren't you?"
"Weren't you just saying that I couldn't possibly defeat it?"
"..."
The fairy maiden gave Lin Sai an icy glare, and this time, she ignored him.
Lin Sai didn't give up. He recalled the 'My Love' the fairy maiden had mentioned earlier.
He immediately had an idea:
"Are you being emotionally manipulated by the dragon beast, or are you being led by a false love? Or, to put it another way, do you beasts also have emotions?"
This provocation, denying the other's emotions, had the desired effect.
The fairy maiden was furious:
"Human, aren't you the real culprit?"
"If it wasn't for you threatening My Love beneath the Black Mountain, why would it choose to advance so anxiously?"
The dragon beast was being threatened by humans! And this power came from the other end of the world? Lin Sai suddenly thought of what An Rui had told him in the Hidden Frontier.
For ten whole years, even though this outpost wasn't important, the relatives of those powerful individuals in the expedition would still pay attention to the situation here.
Perhaps it was because of certain powerful individuals that they tried to break through the world barrier from the other side of the Black Mountain.
The dragon beast was forced to advance.
But no one expected that this rescue would backfire.
The dragon beast began to forcibly advance, and the danger level increased, becoming difficult to resolve.
Even in the distant Hidden Frontier town, because of this world-level change, they faced a crisis of life and death.
"Sigh..."
Lin Sai sighed in his heart, then continued to focus on the fairy maiden, countering her arguments:
"But this threat is endangering the entire world and countless innocent lives."
The fairy maiden said viciously:
"You humans, don't think you can escape!"
Lin Sai asked from a different angle:
"What about this world?"
"The dragon beast's advancement is persecuting the entire world and countless innocent lives."
"Are they also the culprits?"
Lin Sai's question seemed to hit the fairy maiden's sore spot.
She stared with wide eyes, and emotions surged in her crystalline pupils:
"What do you know?"
"It wasn't supposed to be like this, My Love..."
In that instant, the fairy maiden's figure suddenly became blurred, and even the illusion began to shake. The reality of the black night even blurred before their eyes.
In that moment, Lin Sai seized a glimmer of hope.
He used his only chance to switch the [Flame Forge Emblem] in his hand.
And just a few seconds later, the fairy maiden's sharp roar echoed:
"Dishonorable human, you're stalling for time!"
